Dualism and Holism
THEORY OF DUALITY
• Understanding the nature of things in simple, dual mode.
• Pioneered by Rene Descartes
• People perceive things as dual in character

THEORY OF HOLISM
• Introduced by General Jan C. Smuts in 1926, a South African
statesman, military leader and philosopher
• An academic terminology that states “the tendency in nature to
form wholes which are greater than the sum of its parts through
creative evolution"

THEORY OF GESTALT
• Introduced by Christian Von Ehrehfels in 1890 and later supported by psychologists
Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wolfgang Kohler
• “Something that is made of many parts and yet somehow more than or different
from the combination of its parts; broadly, the general quality of character of
something“ (Merriam – Webster Dictionary)
Humans in terms of being a unified entity
follows the principle of holism. In
understanding humans, it is important to see
the person in his entirety and not just his
parts.

Think of another example of a


whole that is greater than the sum
of its parts.
The Various Aspects of Holistic
Development of Persons
When we consider a human person and what various aspects make up this
complex organism, five aspects come to mind:

• Physiological or the physical attributes including the five physical


senses;
• Cognitive or the intellectual functions of the mind: thinking, recognizing,
reasoning, analyzing, projecting, synthesizing, recalling, and assessing;
• Psychological or how thinking, feeling, and behaving interact and
happen in a person;
• Social or the manner by which an individual interacts with other
individuals or groups of individuals; and
• Spiritual or the attribute of a person’s consciousness and beliefs,
including the values and virtues that guide and put meaning into a
person’s life.

• Understanding a person holistically means that one aspect cannot be seen in


isolation from the whole person.
• One must see how the interplay of all five aspects occurs within an individual.
Read the story of Therese.

Analyze and Reflect:


1. If you were one of Therese’s classmates, how
would you feel and how would you react to
what you are witnessing?
2. Identify and explain the five aspects of a
whole person in relation to the details of
Therese’s story.
3. What is your conclusion?
FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS
• Feelings, moods, and emotions do not
exactly mean one and the same.
• Paul Ekman of the University of
California identified six basic emotions
that human beings experience:
happiness, sadness, fear, anger,
Feelings surprise, and disgust.
and
Emotions • However, a recent research study
(2014) conducted by the Institute of
Neuroscience and Psychology at the
University of Glasglow has concluded
that there are only four basic emotions,
these are: happy, sad, afraid or
surprised, and angry or disgusted.
• Emotion is taken from the Latin
verb, movare, which means to move
or be upset or agitated.
• It is defined by Smith 1973 as a
descriptive term referring to
variations in level of arousal,
affective state or mood, expressive
movements, and attitudes.
Emosyon ka ba?

Feeling ka kasi.
ARE FEELINGS
THE SAME AS EMOTIONS?
According to Dr. Damasio, from a neuro-
scientific approach, feeling arises from the
brain as it interprets as emotion, which is
usually caused by physical sensations
experienced by the body as a reaction to a
certain external stimulus.
Read the example ‘Imagine yourself’

Analyze and Reflect:

1. What was the external stimulus that you


experienced? What emotion did you get from
this stimulus?
2. What were you thinking? What feeling were you
getting from this emotion?
3. What was your response to the feeling you
experienced?
ATTITUDE AND
BEHAVIOR
Are a person’s thoughts, feelings, and
emotions about another person, object,
idea, behavior or situation. It is a result of a
person’s evaluation of an experience with
another person, object, idea, behavior, or
Attitudes situation based on his / her values and
belief systems.
